A rectangular poster has a length of 72 centimeters and a width of 15 centimeters. The poster is reduced in size by 6 centimeters in length and 3 centimeters in width. What is the area of the new poster?(1 point)

Question

square centimeters

Answer 1

The original area of the poster is:

72 cm (length) x 15 cm (width) = 1080 cm^2

After reducing the length by 6 cm and the width by 3 cm, the new dimensions are:

(72 cm - 6 cm) (length) x (15 cm - 3 cm) (width) = 66 cm x 12 cm = 792 cm^2

Therefore, the area of the new poster is 792 square centimeters.
